When I asked the people how they had gotten such articles, they replied, 'Our merchants go buy them in the markets of Shendu (India)'." He portrays a demoralized country whose political system had vanished, though its urban infrastructure remained. "Its people cultivate the land and have cities and houses. Their customs are like those of Dayuan (Ferghana). It has no great ruler but only a number of petty chiefs ruling various cities. The people are poor in the use of arms and afraid of battle, but they are clever at commerce. After the Great Yuezhi moved west and attacked Daxia, the entire country came under their sway. The population of the country is large, numbering some 1,000,000 or more persons. The capital is called the city of Lanshi (Bactra) and has a market where all sorts of goods are bought and sold." |
